I already take that into account but sometimes i think that i(we) dont try hard enough to make it work. or maybe i just dont know how to let the person go. i dont know. thanks though.

Long distance can work but I think you have to see each other more than once a year and have a definite plan for ending the long distance and being together.
I did long distance for 3 years and saw each other about 2 times a year. It was very difficult. The last year before I moved here, I saw him one time in 10 months. Honestly, if I didn't move here when I did, the relationship would have ended as it was just too long apart.
Talk to your partner about these things and come up with a plan to be together.

I can honestly say that to start with it was just about ok - emails, skype calls etc but now we have decided we (I)either commit to being with him or we will have to move on. I am currently torn apart and am planning to fly out to see him again to see what to do whether I have a future. Ultimately the relationship has to 'go somewhere' and change - its just a case of when. I wish you luck. Given the choice I wouldn't go through this again. In this instance love cannot conquer all.

Hi there,
I have seen long distance relationships work before, but it was in cases where they would have seen each other more than once a year.
sorry to say, but for a relationship to work you need to see each other more often, and you say you broke up 4 times within that year. It is a bad sign as due to the fact that you dont meet face to face very often and you still broke up, it signifies to me that there are problems already there.
Take care.
